A leaked copy of the Pentagon's Nuclear Posture Review states that Russia is developing a new intercontinental, nuclear armed undersea autonomous torpedo. The 79 foot long Kanyon torpedo is capable of delivering a 100 megaton thermonuclear weapon and has a range of 6,200 miles. The warhead is salted with isotope Cobalt-60 which would render the attacked area off limits to humans for 100 years.
